Phylum Launches Viral Outbreaks and Pandemics MOOC

Phylum proudly announced the launch of its MOOC, "Viral Outbreaks and Pandemics," which is now open for enrollment.

Developed in collaboration with Francois Gary and Chloé Le Gall-Ladevèze, this MOOC represented a complete overhaul of the previous course on Emerging and Reemerging Viruses, which was initially launched in February 2020.

In its fourth edition, the course attracted over 2,519 participants from 117 countries. Among them, 68 individuals registered for the fee-based final exam, and 49 successfully earned their certification.

The course also featured an interview with Antonio Fauci from Georgetown University, discussing "Lessons Learned from Covid," which received highly positive feedback from learners.

Additionally, the Institut Pasteur team created a "Course BOOC" that compiles all speeches along with accompanying images, currently available only in French.

Due to the success of this MOOC, the registration period has been extended until February 12, 2025. We encourage everyone to share this news and invite others to participate in this enriching initiative!
